This week thereâs a ton of news, as we discuss the possibility of Damian Lewis as James Bond, the decision by Sean Penn to sue Lee Daniels, and the final submissions for the Foreign Language Oscar, which include a surprising move from the French committee, and a nationally-questionable entry from Ireland. The weekâs reviews see us tackle the frosty climate and eclectic cast of Baltasar Kormakurâs âEverest,â Cal caught Anthony Hopkinsâ clairvoyant antics in âSolace,â while an unforeseen plot device in Jack Black comedy âThe D Trainâ saw us glimpse far more of him than weâd like. Elsewhere, Ryan Adamsâ cover of Taylor Swiftâs album has Pete enthused, and the weekâs array of hunks pleases Cal greatly.
